TERM PROJECT
Your term project is a research
proposal related to the general concept of using
social media (generally perceived as “amateur”) within the
professional world.
This is NOT a proposal for the actual project. Rather, it's
a proposal of the research you would need to undertake to
actually put the project together. In other words, you're
just gathering the sources you would ordinarily need to
explain a new project to your colleagues/manager. This
means you'll be only doing the research necessary to figure
out what your ideal sources are, what your question should
be, a tentative answer, and provide a sense of who is your
intended audience (in real life, not in the class).
As a byproduct, I'm hoping that the research you undertake
will make for invigorating discussion, both in class and on
the www.flipthemedia.com blog.
